Open-E DSS V7 Active-Active iSCSI Failover
TO SET UP ACTIVE-ACTIVE ISCSI FAILOVER ON INTEL SERVER
SYSTEMS R2224GZ4GC4, GO THROUGH THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. Hardware Configuration
2. Network Configuration
• Set server hostnames and Ethernet ports on both nodes (node-a, node-b)
3. Configure the node-b:
• Create a Volume Group, iSCSI Volume
• Configure Volume Replication mode (destination and source mode) – define remote mode of binding, create Volume Replication
task and start the replication task
4. Configure the node-a:
• Create a Volume Group, iSCSI Volume
• Configure Volume Replication mode (source and destination mode), create Volume Replication task and start the replication
task.
5. Create targets (node-a and node-b)
6. Configure Failover (node-a and node-b)
7. Start Failover Service
8. Test Failover Function
9. Run Failback Function

Note:
It is strongly recommended to use direct point-to-point and if possible 10Gb
connection for the volume replication. Optionally Round-Robin-Bonding with 1Gb
or 10Gb ports can be configured for the volume replication. The volume replication
connection can work over the switch, but the most reliable is a direct connection.

After clicking the start button,
configuration of both nodes is
complete.
NOTE: You can now connect with iSCSI Initiators. The first
storage client, in order to connect to target0 please setup
multipath with following IP on the initiator side:
192.168.21.101 and 192.168.31.101. In order to connect
to target1 please setup multipath with following IP on the
initiator side: 192.168.22.101 and 192.168.32.101.
For the next storage client please setup multipath
accordingly: for access to target: 192.168.21.102,
192.168.31.102 and for access to target1:
192.168.22.102, 192.168.32.102.

9. Run Failback Function Data Server (DSS1)
node-a IP Address:192.168.0.220
After completing this step, the
status for node-a resources should
state "active on node-a (local
node)" and the Synchronization
status should state "synced".
Then, you can apply the same
actions for node-b resources.
The configuration and testing
of Active-Active iSCSI Failover
is now complete.
NOTE:
The Active-Active option allows configuring resource
pools on both nodes and makes it possible to run some
active volumes on node-a and other active volumes on
node-b. The Active-Active option is enabled with the
TRIAL mode for 60 days or when purchasing the
Active-Active Failover Feature Pack. The Active-
Passive option allows configuring a resource pool only
on one of the nodes. In such a case, all volumes are
active on a single node only.
